thanks i have tried the hanbook method, many times in different ways for example when i go in the menu on the radio i scroll down to where it says automatic headlights deactivated i then press the ok, or the left arrow, or the right arrow or the up, and down arrow but nothing seems to change and it seems stuck on "automatic headlight deactivated" finally cracked it! when i went into the menu on the radio i was looking at the middle icon, then scrolling down to try and change auto healights, WRONG i should have gone in to the third icon(Personalise Function) and choose VEHICLE PARAMETERS then scroll to lighting, and checked the box which says auto lighting. Why do people who put computers in cars not realise that not everyone is computer wiz kids! what has vehicle parameters got to do with lighting, never mind, hope this is of some use to others
